The Register is reporting on a new survey of 2000 businesses by YouGov and UK solicitors Irwin Mitchell, which exposes an underlying absence of awareness and urgency about complying with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which takes effect May 25, 2018. Findings show that just three in every ten organizations surveyed (29 percent) have started preparing for the new data governance rules. GDPR places data privacy and protection responsibilities directly on businesses and their data ecosystem partners, and affects organizations worldwide transacting with EU-based users.

“If you show generosity to the noble, you will own him, but if you show generosity to the ignoble, he will renounce you.” A well-known Middle Eastern saying. Apposite, considering the barbaric suicide bombing perpetrated by a Briton of Libyan descent: Salman Al Abeidi. His parents had fled the tyranny of Qaddafi and had sought sanctuary in the United Kingdom. Their host country gave them protection and was very generous in providing that family with free housing, free education, free health care, and monthly cheques to live on. The Manchester bombing of May 2017 was how the UK was repaid for its kindness.

The not-for-profit, Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP) has launched a new version of its Skills Framework, which is widely accepted as the de-facto standard for measuring the knowledge, experience and competency of information security and assurance professionals. First introduced in 2006 and developed by world-renowned academics and security experts in collaboration with industry, government and universities, the IISP Skills Framework is used by the UK Government to underpin its Certified Professional Scheme and by organisations to develop and benchmark their own in-house capabilities. It is also fundamental to the development of training courses and syllabi for UK university courses in information security, while The Tech Partnership will use the latest version as the foundation for Cyber Security apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships.
